Do you like TED Talks? Then you’ll love DEBx.

DEBx is a dynamic, thoughtfully curated evening of powerful stories and fresh perspectives. During this professionally produced event, each speaker delivers a carefully crafted 8-minute talk rooted in lived experience, personal insight, or a message that matters. These are not professional speakers. They are professionals, entrepreneurs, advocates, and community members who have chosen to step forward with intention and courage.

In one unforgettable evening, you will experience compelling talks exploring themes such as resilience, mental wellness, identity, leadership, relationships, and personal transformation. Some stories will make you laugh. Others may challenge the way you think. A few may stay with you long after the night ends.

This event also supports Amplify Voices, an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to elevating historically silenced voices and fostering meaningful change in our communities.

If you appreciate powerful storytelling and perspectives that expand how you see the world, DEBx offers a live experience that is intimate, inspiring, and deeply human.
